[quote:Anonymous Coward 26942431:MV8yMDYwMzA5XzM0NjYwMTgxX0QzNzQ0RTk3] I was in A'dam for one day earlier this month on a layover between flights and went for a walk around the city center... it certainly seemed like "business as usual" to me, dense crowds and lots of business in the coffee shops! Glad to hear they are scrapping the idea of not letting foreigners in the coffee shops! I also saw something there I had never seen before (last time I was there for two weeks in 2005): bright green, coca-infused liquor! Wish I had gotten some to bring home in my suitcase..... :stoner: [/quote]

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Dope-selling coffee shops in Amsterdam won't be shutting their doors to foreign visitors any time soon, a huge relief to the hundreds of thousands of tourists who enjoy a toke or two in the Dutch capital alongside their excursions on the canals and to the museums.
Amsterdam welcomed Tuesday changes in the national government's drug policies as a green light to let tourists keep rolling in to the city's 220 world famous cafes that sell cannabis, marijuana and pre-rolled joints alongside cups of coffee.
On Monday night, Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten sent a letter to Parliament announcing he was scrapping a nationwide rollout of the so-called "weed pass" that was designed to keep non-Dutch residents out of coffee shops.
